This weeks matchups and predictions. Great weekend with 3 matchups involving two ranked teams.

*GAME OF THE WEEK*

*#15 Miss St. vs #3 Vanderbilt*I could have went with LSU and South Carolina, but its been a while since Vanderbilt has been tested in league play and I'm anxious to see this great hitting team in State vs the stellar pitching at Vandy. Miss St. has been playing some great ball lately and I'm gonna call the upset even on the road. (Prediction Miss St. 2-1)

#14 South Carolina vs #2 LSULSU has to be exhausted after playing two weekends in a row on the road, then going 35 total innings aganist Alabama this weekend. South Carolina meanwhile got a much needed sweep of Kentucky. LSU will be back in front of a sold out croud at the Box in what will probably be LSU's toughest test left in SC. I'm gonna take my Tigers but it wouldnt shock me if SC wins the series this weekend. (Prediction 2-1 LSU)

#24 Kentucky vs # 18 Ole MissKentcuky has been struggling badly as of late. They are 1-8 in their last 9 SEC contest. Meanwhile Ole Miss has swept their last two series. I think Kentucky will muster one win because they need it badly, but Ole Miss will keep their hot streak rolling. (Prediction Miss 2-1)

#12 Arkansas vs GeorgiaGeorgia surprisingly won a Firday game vs Vanderbilt last weekend, but that doesnt mean their great all of a sudden. Arkansas got a hard fought series win over A&M last weekend. I would call Arkansas to sweep but those bats arent hot enough yet, and since the game is on the road for them and UGA did get Vandy one time, I'll go with a series win for Arkansas. (Prediction Arky 2-1)

Auburn vs MissouriOnce again a matchup of East and West bottom feeders. Not much to say about this one other than Auburn has been playing well lately. (Prediction Auburn 2-1)

Tennessee vs FloridaFlorida has been killing it lately and it makes me nervous that LSU still has to play them. I think UF keeps it rolling and gets a series win at home vs Tennessee. (Prediction Florida 2-1)

Texas A&M vs AlabamaAlabama gained a lot of respect from me and that is a solid team they have in Tuscaloosa. Both teams lost great series to superior teams so this should be the best matchup not involving ranked teams. (Prediction Alabama 2-1).edited by LSU_Blake on 4/22/2013
